  14. 'Too many potential targets'published at 02:17

    The BBC's Jonathan Marcus says one of the suicide bombers at the Bataclan concert hall was known to security services and may have spent time in Syria.

     "For whatever reason alarm bells did not ring if and when he returned," he says. "French security sources have in the past complained at being simply inundated with case files. There are just too many potential targets to watch and if individuals appear uninvolved in any suspicious activities it is very hard to justify the deployment of scarce surveillance resources against them."
